Hamilton should be the most popular athlete in Britain. He should stand for something bright and new. But things haven't happened like that.
As the youngest ever champion(冠军) in F1 history, the 24-year-old British driver tried his best to defend(捍卫) his title this season. However, nearly every newspaper in the Western world called him a liar last week.
Near the end of his first race in Melbourne, Hamilton was told by one of his managers to make an illegal(非法) move. But he didn't tell the truth when reporters asked him about this question. Later, Hamilton had to apologize.
" I can not tell you how sorry I am for the embarrassment, " Hamilton said, his eyes full of tears. " I feel awkward and uncomfortable. " But clearly he wanted people to believe it was not his fault. He was simply going along with team orders. " I am not a liar or a dishonest person, I am a team player. If the team asks me to do something, I generally do it, " Hamilton said.
One newspaper ironically(讽刺的) called his apology " an impressive performance from the world champion". If the FIA decided to ban(禁止) Hamilton for several races, Hamilton could choose to leave the team or may have to stop his work.
Being young, Hamilton did not perhaps understand the seriousness of his mistake. But he forget the honor(荣誉) of the sport.
To recover his name, Hamilton has a long way to go.
